X-axis w ith carriage
Fig. 13: X-reference switch position
1 Reference switch X-axis
2 Magnetic contact X-axis
Fig. 14: X-carriage guide
1 Y-bridge
2 Linear guide
The Fig. shows the X-linear guide (Fig. 14/2) from one side of
the machine.
The second X-linear guide is symmetrically located on the other
side of the machine.

1 Ball screw
2 Ball nut
The ball screw (Fig. 15/1) is located under the machine.
The two linear guides represent the X-axis, on which the Y-
bridge is moved on (Fig. 14/1) along the X linear guides.
HINT:
Reference switches are required for axes without absolute position encoder to
feature in the initialization of the axis by a known reference point (zero point of the
axis). From this position, all other positions are then calculated relative to the
process of the axis via software.
